[aisle] Lost/Overdue books from last school year

[Mrs. Kuzminski]

We still have a lot of books out in every building in our district.  I sent
out emails in the spring telling students to put them someplace safe,
preferably their backpack, and return them when we are back to school.  We
are still 100% remote until the 26th, but I think a lot will come back as
soon as we start up circulations again.  I will be giving students until
November 20th to turn them in.  After that, the books will be marked lost
and students will have to cough up either the book or the money.

There are a fair number, probably about 30 or so, that our graduating 8th
graders never returned.  I'm not counting on ever getting those books
back.  A lot of those were non-fiction because the 8th graders were working
on research projects when we shut down.  That's a huge financial hit for
us, but there's not a lot we can do about it.
